All the conservation in the world cannot deprive a man of what he actually i eeds for sustenance and as that was pll we got before the movement start ed we are none the loser now. For once a man can be thankful he is poor. # * * This office is in receipt of the Na tional Service Book, emanating from the government printing office, which gives in detail the methods of enter ing every service under the stars and stripes.

E. Brodie, president of the Ore gon State Editorial Association, is be ing generally favored by the press of the state as a candidate for Secretary of State to succeed Ben W. Olcott. who will be ineligible for a re-election. Mr. Brodie is president of the associ ation and a live wire, and is certainly well qualified for the position for which he is a candidate. * * • Now comes gasoline conservation. No more joy rides. No more pleasure trips. Nothing but actual necessity. Yet there are thousands of acres of oil bearing lands now tied up in the conservation movements of the past, which, if thrown open to exploitation, would furnish enough oil and to spare for the entire world. Conservation, what crimes are not committed in thy name! • • • It took the editor one hour and for ty minutes to wade through his mail yesterday morning. Out of twenty- seven letters opened twenty-five were franked either by the war, navy or ag ricultural departments, one by a con gressman and one had a two cent stamp on it. And twenty-six of the total contained requests or matter to be published gratis by the Herald. Did we comply with all these requests in to- to the Heraiii would this week contain eight pages and not a line devoted to local news. Yet congress is now in the act of passing a law raising the postal rates to accommodate all this panhandling mutter.
